QuickSpecsHPE MSA 2040 StorageFeaturesAll MSA 2040 models offer a common set of valuable features:NOTE:Customers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL101 or later for iSCSI functionalityCustomers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL105 or later for Self-Encrypting Drive functionalityCustomers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL200 or later for MSA virtualizations featuresCustomers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL210 or later for enhanced performanceCustomers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL220 or later for additional MSA virtualization features (suchas remote snap replication for iSCSI, virtual tier affinity, large pool support, snapshot space management, scheduler and volumecopy on virtual storage) MSA 2040 supports SSD drives which allow IT managers to boost IOPS performance.Automated Sub-Lun Tiering. The MSA 2040 can manage up to three tiers of storage: Performance tier, Standard tier andArchive tier. This feature is available with GL200 firmware or newer.SSD Performance Tier to improve random read and write performance. Creation of an SSD Performance Tier for bothread and write capabilities requires a Performance Auto Tiering License (D4T79A/ D4T79AE). The Performance AutoTiering License is not required in Linear Storage configurations not utilizing Virtual Storage Disk-Groups and Pools.SSD Read Cache to improve random read performance. A maximum of 2 SSD’s are supported per pool utilizing amaximum of 4TB of read cache per controller.Thin Provisioning allows storage allocation of physical storage resources only once they are consumed by an application.Thin Provisioning also allows over-provisioning of physical storage pool resources allowing ease of growth for volumeswithout predicting storage capacity upfront. Thin Provisioning is available with GL200 firmware or newer.Snapshot enhancements for virtual storage, including performance improvements, hierarchical snapshots, and simplifiedresource management. Administrators can monitor and optionally control snapshot space usage with GL220 firmware orlater.Prioritize data by assigning appropriate affinity level (Performance, No Affinity & Archive) with GL220 firmware or later.Large Pool Support is available with GL220 firmware or later. Customers can now enjoy 512 TiB capacity per virtual poolby enabling large pool support.MSA 2040 supports Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) to allow customers to secure their critical data and comply with allrequired regulatory mandates.Simple storage management including an intuitive browser-based user interface.Storage Management Utility V3 (SMU). This new MSA management GUI brings a new modern look and feel to arraymanagement. SMU V3 available with GL200 firmware or newer. Existing MSA customers can choose to use the new SMUV3 or to continue to use the previous generation SMU V2 if new virtualization features are not required.MSA 2040 comes standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability (volume copy is available for bothlinear and virtual storage with GL220 firmware or later; pre-GL220 firmware, volume copy is only available on linearstorage). Arrays also support an optional 512 snaps. Choose either a low-cost single controller array or start with aconfigured dual controller array model to fit the budget, high availability, and performance needs.All models feature a wide variety of drives: High-performance SSD drives, enterprise-class SAS, SED and SAS Midlinedrives.The MSA 2040 will support a maximum of 7 disk enclosures (either LFF and/or SFF). Add-on enclosures can either beD2700 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive enclosures or MSA 2040 Large Form Factor (LFF) disk enclosures. The array cangrow incrementally from a few drives to 96 LFF or 199 SFF drives.Disks Groups can be spanned across multiple enclosures RAID levels 1, 5, 6, 10. Linear Vdisks support RAID levels 0, 1, 3,5, 6, 10, 50.Maximum hard drive counts vary by RAID levels: 2 drive max for RAID level 1; max of 16 drives for RAID levels 0, 3, 5, 6,and 10; max of 32 drives for RAID level 50. With GL200 or newer firmware multiple Disk Groups can be aggregated into aStorage Pool.The maximum LUN size is 140TB (128TiB)Storage Pools allow data on a given LUN to span across all drives in a pool. When capacity is added to a system, the useris also getting a performance benefit of the additional spindles –hence the term Wide Striping. Storage Pools are availablewith GL200 firmware or newer.Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade (requires dual controllers w/ multi-pathing software)Page 9

With the addition of seven D2700 JBODs, theMSA 2040 storage can support 398.2 TB SAS.Users may configure a 24-drive MSA 2040 array head with 12-drive LFF MSA 2040 3.5-inch diskenclosures. This is an excellent option for a configuration that supports high-speed SFF SSDs or fast SFFenterprise-class SAS drives in the array head, combined with economical LFF drives staged for archivalpurposes, all in the same array.The Vdisk nomenclature is being replaced by Disk Group. In the Linear Storage and in the SMU V2 you will seereference to Vdisk in Linear Storage and the SMU V3 you will see Disk Group. Vdisk and Disk Group are essentiallythe same. Vdisks have additional RAID types (RAID 0, 3) not available only in the CLI.Page 12

QuickSpecsHPE MSA 2040 StorageFamily InformationDisk GroupA Disk Group is a collection of disks in a given redundancy mode (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50). It is equivalent to a Vdisk inLinear Storage and utilizes the same proven fault tolerant technology used by Linear Storage. Disk Group RAID leveland size can be created based on performance and/or capacity requirements. With GL200 or newer firmwaremultiple Disk Groups can be allocated into a Storage Pool for use with the Virtual Storage features.LUNsThe MSA 2040 arrays support 512 volumes and up to 512 snapshots in a system. All of these volumes can bemapped to LUNs. Maximum LUN sizes up to 140TB (128 TiB), the LUNs size are dependent on the storagearchitecture: Linear vs. Virtualized. Thin Provisioning allows the user to create the LUNs independent of the physicalstorage.StoragePoolsThe GL200 firmware or newer introduces Storage Pools – which are comprised of one or more Disk Groups. LUNsare no longer be restricted to a single Vdisk as with Linear Storage. A volume’s data on a given LUN can now span alldisk drives in a pool. When capacity is added to a system, users will benefit from the performance of all spindles inthat pool.Leveraging Storage Pools, the MSA 2040 supports large, flexible Volumes with sizes up to 128TiB and facilitatesseamless capacity expansion. As volumes are expanded data automatically reflows to balance capacity utilization onall drives.RAID 0, 1, 3, In addition to the usual RAID levels, the MSA 2040 features several important additional levels. RAID 6 offers the5, 6, 10, 50 highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous writeoperations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss. RAID 10 is mirroring andstriping without parity and allows large Disk Groups to be created with high performance and mirroring for faulttolerance. RAID 50 combines the block striping and parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0,yielding higher performance than RAID 5 through the addition of RAID 0, particularly during writes.Performance The performance figures provided here are for reference as many variables exist between array configurations,workloads, hard drive types, disk group setup parameters and host system setup. All performance information ismeasured using both Linear and Virtual StorageHewlett Packard Enterprise has traditionally published a set of end-to-end MSA performance specifications whichfeed into HPE Sizer tools which are based on conservative real-world configurations. For consistency, the MSA 2040performance numbers have been documented in both Benchmark and End-to-End Performance tables.Configuration details are provided for both test scenarios.
